浅析土尔扈特西迁缘由

15世中至17世纪初,由于漠南蒙古与喀尔喀蒙古对卫拉特蒙古的多次讨伐,卫拉特势力逐渐被削弱,失去大部分游牧地。与之而来的问题便是剩余的草场、林地难以满足人们越来越多的生存需求。为此,卫拉特蒙古各领主之间的矛盾日益增多,导致土尔扈特部西迁。本文通过研究卫拉特蒙古内部及外部发展势态来剖析土尔扈特西迁问题,以此更加深入阐明了土尔扈特蒙古西迁的原因。

A Brief Analysis of the Cause of the Westward Movement of Turghuts

From the middle of the 15th century to the beginning of the 17th century,due to the repeated offensives by the southern and Khalkha Mongols on the Oirats,Oirat power gradually weakened and lost most of their nomadic lands,which in consequence brought about the problem that the remaining grassland and woodland become difficult to meet people’s more and more survival needs.For this reason,the contradictions among the Oirat lords increased day by day,which led to the westward movement of the Turghuts.In this paper,through the study of the internal and external development trend of Oirat Mongols,the author analyzes the question of the westward movement of Turghuts,so as to understand the reason of the great movement.
